I mean, obviously you have Mara Jade’s Luke Skywalker obsession where she’s trying to talk, her self and everyone else into believing she genuinely wants to kill him.  Like, it’s so funny to me how she’s trying to convince herself that something she’s genuinely wants to do and it isn’t just probing from Palpatine. But what’s even funnier is that Luke basically just said “nuh uh.”

Then, of course you have the whole lady Vader thing. Most everything about that is just wild.  Leia is on the verge of being kidnapped and the guy just smells her and he’s like “oh my gosh you smell just like Darth Vader. You must be his kid” and she just rolls with it. I never would’ve thought a book would have me questioning what Vader and Leia smell like, but here we are. 

Not to mention the scene where a very pregnant Leia and Chewbacca hide underneath a table. Thrawn is just there in the room and they are in there the entire time. And I was just thinking he’s going to find them, and then he doesn’t. There’s a 7 foot tall Wookie, a whole human princess, and a gold droid in the room, and he does not notice any of them. Absurd. 

And, of course, my favorite scene is when Mara raw dogs trying to strangle Thrawn. Then, when she tries to force choke him, the effort causes her to lose her breath and give up. Meanwhile, he’s just scolding her like she’s an unruly toddler the entire time. 

This doesn’t even begin to get in everything about Jorouus C’boath. He’s insane, he controls entire armies in his mind, he cloned Luke, because reasons he was obsessed with kidnapping Leia. He pissed off Thrawn multiple times. He’s a lot to deal with. 

Thrawn: we’re not so different, you and I.

Ezra: please, my family was ripped apart by the government when I was seven. You can’t possibly understand what I’ve been through.

Thrawn: my family was ripped apart by the government when I was three. You would be surprised.

Ezra: well, despite that, I was still able to find people who were like family to me.

Thrawn: so was I.

Ezra: I lost someone I loved, but his sacrifice give me the strength to go on and do what I needed to do.

Thrawn: ditto

Ezra: well… I never do things by the book and I’m not afraid to disobey orders that I don’t think are worth following

Thrawn: you’ll never believe this.

Ezra: I hate you
